You can later extract the perfect “decisive moment” later, and reframe it however you desire.
Imagine, just keeping the GoPro Fusion rolling on a tripod during the first kiss. Not only that, but you can reframe the scene however you desire.įor commercial or wedding photographers, this Overcapture function would be phenomenal. Instead of shooting still photos with a “normal” camera, all you have to do is shoot 360 video footage, and extract a single still image from the footage. It’s like rewinding time.Īnother example: let’s say you’re shooting street photography and you see an interesting street scene. Then when you go home, you can replay reality, and reframe the scene how you want to. Imagine: you see an interesting scene, and you record it with 360 video footage. What is the implication for this in photography? This allows you to reframe, rezoom on certain parts, and allows you to tell a more engaging story. I can fanboy about GoPro all day, but let me explain why I think the GoPro Fusion, as well as Virtual Reality, 360 cameras, Augmented Reality is the future of photography.įirst of all, the GoPro Fusion has this amazing thing called “Overcapture” which can be explained as this: you first record 360 footage, then you can replay your 360 footage and re-record it as a “normal” 2D/flat video. Even with the GoPro Fusion, the camera came with a simple quick setup pamphlet that resembled an Ikea manual: no words on it, only visual directions, which made the GoPro Fusion super easy setup. For example, the GoPro cameras are extremely minimalist in their menu design, but it is intuitive to navigate. I see GoPro as the Apple for cameras.Īnother thoughtful thing I love about all GoPro cameras: stripping away the superfluous.
GOPRO FUSION 360 ANDROID
The strength of GoPro is in their software, ecosystem, as well as the ingenious simplicity and extreme attention to detail.įor example, the GoPro app for my iPad and Android device is awesome. A lot of people have been buying copycat GoPro cameras, thinking to themselves: “It’s the same thing.” I disagree. I honestly think GoPro is probably the most innovative “camera” company.
It automatically stitches together the footage you shoot, and it is like magic! Simply put, the Fusion is a 360 degree camera and video recorder, that has a front facing and back facing lens. At first I thought it was gimmicky (I didn’t really believe in 360/virtual reality stuff), but after using it for the last 3 days, I can confidently say: this is the future of photography, video, and visual storytelling. My GoPro Hero 3 was getting too old, so I went to the GoPro website and saw this new camera called the “Fusion”. GoPro Fusion mounted on top of Lumix LX 100 with hotshoe mount
